That’s a very short-sighted view on what gun control does Wilber. 

For example, banning automatic weapons doesn’t take them out of the hands of criminals, either...   so why not let law abiding gun owners have fun at the range with a full auto? 

If you consider that they are nearly impossible to get illegally because they are not available legally, then gun control measures actually make sense.  You can’t just look at one measure and say “the criminals will ignore it”.  No sh!t...  of course they will.  But if you look at the larger view where these guns will slowly get harder and harder for criminals to come by, then it makes sense.

Full auto weapons aren't even legal in the US. They may be difficult to get illegally on the Island but there is very little stopping them from coming over the border where  I live.
